Start by making the poaching liquid for the beets.

Juice 3 oranges and measure out 1/2 cup of vegetable stock.

Add salt and ground ginger to the mixture.

Grate frozen fresh ginger using a microplaner and add it to the poaching liquid.

Bring the poaching liquid to temperature until it starts to bubble.

Add the beets to the poaching liquid and stir.

Turn off the heat and let the beets poach in the sauce until tender, checking them occasionally.

Prepare to serve the beets by carefully placing them in a dish without spilling the sauce.

Let the sauce evaporate in the pan for about 10 minutes until it thickens into a glaze.

Once the sauce has thickened, pour it into a small pitcher for better control when serving.

Drizzle the glaze over the beets and garnish with mint and orange zest.
